Too Tired? Too Anxious? Need More Time? We’ve got your back.
The purpose of this discussion board is to investigate different “persuasive technologies” and share what
you learn with the class. Persuasive technology is “broadly defined as a technology that is designed to
change attitudes or behaviors of the users through persuasion and social influence, but not through
coercion” (Dominic et al., 2013. Promoting Physical Activity through Persuasive Technology).
Examples include pedometers, interactive video games such as Wii Fit, heart rate monitors, cell phone
and computer apps, activity monitors and many more.
